help on nys sidelight regulation

i must suck at google because i tried for five minutes and can't dig up anything useful.

does anybody know the regulation on sidelights aka parking lights in nys? i wanna stick superblue led's to match the halogens in my clear corners and i wondered if the man was gonna gank me over to the side of the road and paddle my behind for being different.

thanks.

yes they will....must be amber my friend or they can ticket you.....technically the corner is supposed to be amber too.....you can do it and maybe get away for a while but depending on thier mood and time of the month it makes you a target

I don't know about NY but in MD clear corners are ok as long as you have white or amber bulbs.

yeah right now I have blue clears and parking lights...I was pulled over for not having my license plate up. They didn't even mention the lights. I also flashed the military. Just play it safe and go with white...I think it's a fix me, just like tints
